Would you recommend upgrading the standard focuser to a dual focuser ?

Good idea, I thought so too.
I tried, but no success.
Then I asked an expert...

I did use a SW electric focuser on my previous SW's.
They are good. (and only $99 new from Bintel)
Fine focusing, and hands free so no shake.
But I did not put it on my new scope, because you cant move it manually with the motor fitted.
I bought all my SW's second hand so already assembled.
Assembly at site, once level, only minutes.
Check collimation. (It generally holds collimation all night, and even between trips - over some rough roads.
But you would already know that if you have a SW10".
With the goto, I did experience some problems with the clutches slipping.
But this was easily adjusted.
And I think the new designs may be better than the older (parallel imported) models.
A MUST DO: Bobs Knobs for the secondary.
